    Sick Keet! 8-9 weeks old

    5 days ago I noticed one of my keets hunching its head into it's body, with fluffy feathers. I brought it inside, popped it into a crate, set it up with food and water, and started watching for signs of what was wrong. Crop is fine, keet eats and drinks and poops normally. Keet has been inside...

    It came from some other threads on treating sour crop. I was frantically researching all over the internet, lol! :)

    As someone who has used that type of medicine for its intended use, the concept simply horrifies me. *rueful chuckle*

    Sick Keet About 6 weeks old

    ...constantly eat and run around and perch on my head, lol. :) Looks like the vaginal yeast infection cream did the trick. She ate it like ice cream. *shudder* I gave her 1ml morning and night for a few days, and after the 1st dose she hasn't had an issue with squishy crop. So - whew! Happy...

    Sick Keet About 6 weeks old

    I tried a bit of nutridrench in water yesterday and it perked him up but his crop didn't empty all day long, and it felt squishy so I thought maybe sour crop and I gave him monistat yesterday - crop emptied fully overnight and I'm trying to persuade him to eat mashed up scrambled egg with some...

    Sick Keet About 6 weeks old

    Hatched toward the end of June, all babies are fine and happy except all of a sudden one is hunchy and fluffy-feathered. I've had a bunch of appointments this week so haven't handled them, just making sure food is full and water is full and clean. In these past several days this baby has gotten...

    Coop and weather..

    I keep my chickens locked up in bad weather - rain or any other precipitation, or really cold weather. Will guineas need to stay in during bad weather as well, or will they want to go out? Thank you

    Sick Keet or just odd?

    Update - He is MUCH perkier. I realize correlation /= causation, but the coincidence factor seems pretty high, so I'm guessing coccidia. THANK you my friendly backyard chicken friends!!!! I love this little guy and all of them - and he may very well have been the keet in the coal mine, if you...

    Sick Keet or just odd?

    I did look at his feet and they seemed fine,,, But - I put corid in their water last night and he is ALREADY popping around at least 50% more than he was. I don't know if corid will help coccidia that fast!? But whatever it is, he's feeling better. I'll keep on putting it in for 5 days like...

    Sick Keet or just odd?

    Hopefully it’s not a big deal - I checked his legs and they seemed fine and he didn’t object when I poked and wiggled any more than the other babies objected when I looked at their legs for comparison - what would be the signs of subclinical coccidia? His poops are totally normal. He’s the only...

    Sick Keet or just odd?

    Yes but he seems to prefer to sit or lie down. He stands to eat or drink and then goes back to his favorite spot to sit. The rest of them pop like popcorn but he does not. I wonder if he doesn’t like the sensation of bars under his feet? I’m going to give them playtime in the winter coop...

    Sick Keet or just odd?

    All of them are pretty friendly - they’ll come and sit on my hand if I put it in their brooder or eat out of my hand, and if I put them in my lap they’ll settle down if I put my hand over their eyes for a second and don’t make any sudden moves. Some of them LOVE me though - I think they think...

    Sick Keet or just odd?

    This baby is going on 3 weeks old. He/she likes to sit on his/her feet while the other keets are popping around but only for the last few days. He preens and stands up to eat or drink but it takes him all day to fill his crop while the others are full within 45 min of me turning the light on and...
